Jacob Blight played well enough to replace Vlastuin this week ... that is if we are not trying to win

If SRyan is going to play ruck ... you need the other Ryan in the forward half and you need Miller to play some ruck ...


VFL
We were too tall

Bauer was best on, both back and forward - took an absolute hangar on the wing. I hope that we gif that

Blight looked above the level ... marked and spoiled everything ... looked a million dollars until he had to kick under pressure
Tresize had a great 3rd Q but stank up the rest of the game
CGray was lively - as likely to tear an AFL game apart as a VFL one.

Coulthard needs the be hungry, he is doing the team thing but doesn't get enough of it (been in sensational form until he was Sub and dropped)

Green was putrid ... he is a midfielder not a pressure forward ... play him where he can stick his head over the ball.

Should have drafted Yassine at the MSD ... speed ... tricks ... looked a class above

 

[Groupie_]

should go the lars so we get him back for finals

 

[fargothegreat]

Not ideal having to rest Nank, but we can't take any risks with him given how few talls we have left. If he does go out, I'm guessing we see Blight or Kosi in down back, with Balta swung forward/ruck alongside Gray and/or Bauer.

Vlastuin has looked like shit for a few weeks now, so probably playing sore. If he goes out we could give Smith a full game.

Meehan legit gives me "Misery" vibes at this point

Get tresize in and kozi can share ruck , don’t wanna see blight or gray in the ruck

 

[Bojangles17]

Charlie Ryan plays AFLW she’s highly regarded

 

[Bojangles17]

I kind of feel that not enough attention is given to the dumb decisions that our players make over and over. We lost because we kept giving the ball back to them. I’ve watched a number of Geelong games this year and almost all their scores originate with turnovers and next to none of their scores come from stoppages or hard-ball gets. They play a pissy, bruise-free style of football. Where we lost the game was when we kept kicking it to Geelong outnumbers.

Yep can’t deny that , Balta , sonz Seth just dumb short passes to a contest , seriously

 

[Bojangles17]

we are basically going to tank this game in favour of being a legitimate chance against the hawks for dustys 300th, which is fair enough since we don't have much else to play for this year. Seen some journalists suggest Nank and Vlastuin will also be rested for the adelaide game.

Out: Lefau, Pickett, Martin, Vlastuin, Nank

In: Gray, Smith, Prestia, Tresize, Kozi

Broad, Balta, Brown
Short, Miller, Rioli
Ralphsmith, Graham, McIntosh
Sonsie, Cumberland, Campbell
Mansell, Gray, Kozchitske

Ryan, Baker, Prestia

Smith, Mcauliffe, Dow, Tresize

You could say that or you could say we’re overdue managing a few of our older players

Rest Dusty, Nank, Vlas.

So Ryan plays whole game as ruck, Kosi backup.

Blight to debut down back, Balta goes forward.

Bauer comes in for mine as the sub so we can use him either back or forward depending how the game is panning out.

Smith gets a full game this week down back.

Hopefully Taranto is right to go and in this week.

I'd hold off on Prestia for another week for Hawks game.

Make no mistake, the Hawks game is our GF for Dustys 300th. I'll be there. Go Tiges......

Edit - Bolton in assuming he passes the 12 day concussion protocol ours hold him over for Hawks game.

Yes yes yes and yes

If Nank is managed, then whoever plays second ruck is going to have to do high minutes in there, as Ryan doesn't have the tank to ruck on his own for 90% of a game.

Balta and Kosi are probably the only two options. Neither is ideal. Balta will be needed down back and Kosi is shite.

 

[fargothegreat]

With Taranto, Bolton and Prestia all likely playing against the Crows, our midfield will actually be in pretty good shape for once with only Hopper missing.

Here comes the classic Richmond run to a shit pick to keep us in the wilderness for eternity. Can't wait

Fortunately we're 2 games & % behind 16th and effectively 4-5 games behind 15th with our crap % so we shouldn't really hurt our draft position too much unless we go on a 5-6 game winning streak.

That winning streak starts this week lol. Nah would be annoyed with all the injuries only to win games later on for nothing.

Adelaide game is a must lose ... with the quality of players returning we are unlikely to finish bottom 2

... we should win our last 4 against North, Hawks, Saints and Gold Coast ... if we win Dusty's 300th too ... we are going to struggle to hold onto pick 3 if we win anymore than that

how are we gonna shape the 8 if we dont win a few

 

[Growapair]

Are his kids even any good?

His oldest is 14 ... will know in 2 years

 

[Truetiger]

Just enough not to go above many sides lol. Currently 2 games and percentage to the eagles, as good as 3 games. 4 games and percentage to Stkilda
